Considering that first album by Sodom is Obsessed By Cruelty, that "thing" doesn't really work.

Depends on what elitist you ask. General rule of thumb is the third album was too mainstream/wasn't noisy enough (read: production actually sounded good)/too technical/not technical enough. I couldn't disagree more, generally, but hey, I was born after the golden era of thrash/death metal, what could I possibly know.
